According to [George Harrison](http://www.lyricsfreak.com/g/george-harrison/59059.html), I’m, “walking to the depths of the deepest dark forest.”

… unless I’m missing something. I am kind of tired tonight.

I live in a town  
Where you can’t smell a thing  
You watch your feet  
For cracks in the pavement

I live in a town  
That smells like feet  
And you can walk out on the pavement  
And buy crack

</div>

take me disappearing  
through the smoke rings of my mind,  
Down the foggy ruins of time,  
far past the frozen leaves,  
The haunted, frightened trees,  
out to the windy beach,  
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.  
To dance beneath the diamond sky  
With one hand waving free  
Silhouetted by the sea,  
Circled by the circus sands,  
With all memory and fate  
Driven deep beneath the waves  
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

We’re all on the road to [Zap City](http://www.beggars.com/banquet/index.htm?../artists/catalogue/cult/index.htm&0),

_Indian’s bones are crushed to dust on the road to Zap city  
Devil’s slow to recognize whether we all live in Zap city  
Young girls fly to the beaches  
Take me now boys  
Take me now preachers  
Sanctify, sanctify to the old heat, Zap city!_

Well, you might not think to look at me, but I was famous, long ago, for playing electric violin down on Desolation Row.
